Nutttall oak is a narrowly distributed (1.2% of area), sparse, and high IV species confined to southern Mississippi River valley and its low reliable model suggests 'No change' in habitat within that zone. It does rate high adaptability but its rarity reduces its overall rating of capability to fair.
